fasstrack Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 . A lot of things have changed before then.Okay, I just want to say. . . you can design a tube amp with nearly perfect linearity and about as "pure" a sound as a solids state sound. There are many audio amps that are this way. I love them. They don't necessarily make tube guitar amps that way. For a good reason. I love them. Almost every amp in my house, stereo and instrument, has tubes! At the moment the only exception is my Warwick bass amp. Give me time. . . . Well, Lon you gotta realize that the comment currently under discussion was made in 2974. A lot of things have changed before then. I'm gonna tell James he missed the boat with the music thing. Change of plan, star in the remake of "Back to the Future" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And "Kids Say The Darndest things"! Remember this guy? Didn't his own kid die in some bizarre tragedy? Art's yes. Not Muzzy's, at least not that I know of. Dianne Linkletter, fell to her death after stepping our a window while on an acid trip, believing that she could fly. Or so it was told. And on that note, let's get this thread back on track - Folks, if you're high on the LS&D, don't go stepping out of any windows, even ground level ones. You can't fly, not without some sort of mechanical assistance. On the other hand, Stan Getz could, and did, fly on a fine record of recorded jazz music called Captain Marvel. The record does have Chick Corea (who not coincidentally composed a tune called "Windows", but not, I repeat not, as a tribute (or a taunt) to Diane Linkletter) on electric piano, but if you think that might be annoying, consider the possibility of it being Muzzy Marcellino instead. Life is good and so is this record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Don't be embarrassed. There's a lot of music to hear, nobody hears it all... Notably, there's a Hancock/Corea piano duet version, and another duet version, this time by Burton/Corea. Woody Herman recorded a version, but that's big band, and truthfully, I don't recall if he used Rhodes on it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IFrom the late 60s/ 70s on electric pianos were used. I know 'cause I seen pictures what had guys like Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock in them. I even went to shows and they had to be on stage (or that was dynamite acid). Before that time and at present acoustic pianos were and are still used. If you like the one over the other listen to the one. Buy CDs with the one, etc. That's all out of me except PLEASE, EVERYBODY.SHUT.THE.FUCK.UP.ABOUT.THIS Or I swear Jim, myself, and a few other Web imps will hijack this thread to some exotic place for untold times and no one here will see their wives or kids (probably some of yiz are already packing with a grin Edited February 8, 2009 by fasstrack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notably, there's a Hancock/Corea piano duet version Cool, because I just landed the Columbia/Legacy Handcock/Corea set recently and I'm listening to La Fiesta a second time 'round as I type. YES, these are two completely different takes on this tune, but I guess I have to side with the Getz set again, because I like the way that Corea handles the intro on electric piano, which is far more pleasing than the way that the Corea/Handcock set handles it (however, near the end of the tune, I do like the way they handle the theme) Needless to say, I can't stress enough how great a composition this is, and I guess I still can't hear it any other way at this juncture. Just my opinion Edited February 8, 2009 by Holy Ghost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Rhodes is used on "Fiesta." Sure, probably Rhones, but the liners identify it as "electric piano" (maybe it was a copyright issue).

jazzbo Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Mabye it was a Wurlitzer or an RMI. Sometimes I prefer the Wurlitzer sound. When you dig in and those it gets mean! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 It probably was a Rhodes. Specifying "Rhodes" would be like crediting "Selmer" tenor saxophone or "Bach" trumpet. Wurlitzer, yeah, great sound. Used to great advantage by Joe Sample in the early 70s. Soulful like a Rhodes never thought about being. Kinda fragile though, at least for gigging. Light as a feather, relatively speaking. Them Rhodes (I still got one and just moved it around last week, so I know) were heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Oh I know, I had a Wurly and they're light. Probably why Duke traveled with one for quite some time. Ray Charles. . .man that guy made a Wurly sing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffcrom Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Just reviewed this thread as a consequence of picking up the Stan Getz Quartet at Montreux Polydor album on my recent European trip. It's from three months after the Captain Marvel sessions, without Airto's additional percussion. The version of "La Fiesta" here is very hot - Tony Williams!
